Li Huaijiang transmigrated into a male-oriented cultivation novel as a Venerable One at the Deity Transformation stage, but her cultivation had been completely wiped out. And yet the System insisted she redeem the future demon villain who would destroy the cultivation world.
Li Huaijiang looked at her own measly Qi Refining cultivation. Didn’t she seem like the one who needed saving?
Under pressure from the System, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and get on with it.
Luckily, the villain still had a kind personality and was just an ordinary mortal, even weaker than she was.
To complete her task in a reasonable way, Li Huaijiang simply took him on as her disciple and kept him close under her tutelage.
The little villain was smart and hardworking, but not the brightest.
He could recite all the theory by heart, but when it came to actual combat, she had to give him hands-on instruction.
Li Huaijiang: I’ll put up with it for the sake of his dysfunctional family.
The little villain was a loner who barely spoke, while Li Huaijiang’s Yunqi Peak was bustling with visitors day and night. For the sake of his mental and physical health, she introduced him to quite a few fellow disciples.
But before long, the sect’s disciples started passing by Yunqi Peak without ever going in. The entire mountain grew quiet, with only her and the little villain left.
Li Huaijiang was completely baffled. She had no idea what was going on, but decided to put up with it anyway.
The little villain was so eager to learn that wherever Li Huaijiang went, he followed her like a ghost at her back.
She found it a little annoying. Even partners needed personal space, let alone a master and disciple!
Li Huaijiang: Forget it. I’ll put up with it because he needs to be saved.
The battle between humans and demons was about to begin. Hoping to finish her task and get home, Li Huaijiang joined the fight. While chasing traces of the demon clan, she wandered into a ruined formation and lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she found herself locked in a cramped secret chamber.
Her good disciple stood by the bed, calmly stroking the chains, the corners of his mouth lifting with satisfaction. He leaned close to her ear and spoke in a syrupy voice.
“There are no demons here, no sect disciples, no old friends, and no one else who’s always trying to follow you. There’s only me.”
“Here, you’re not a Venerable One. You don’t have to worry about the life or death of the cultivation world or bother with tedious sect affairs. You only need to be with me.”
“We’ll be together forever, won’t we, Master?”
[A slow-to-catch-on heroine like a wooden puppet come to life × a seemingly normal but actually insane and obsessive male lead]
